[C][G][Am][F]
[C][G][Am][F]
[Verse 1]
[C]I walked through the door with you[G]the air was cold
But[Am]somethin' 'bout it felt like[F]home somehow
And I[C]left my scarf there at your[G]sister's house
And you've[Am]still got it in your[F]drawer-even now
[Interlude]
[C][G][Am][F]
[Verse 2]
Oh, [C]your sweet disposition and my[G]wide-eyed gaze
We're[Am]singing in the car[F]getting lost upstate
[C]Autumn leaves falling down like[G]pieces into place
And[Am]I can picture it after[F]all these days
[Pre-Chorus]
And I[C]know it's long[C]gone and
That[G]magic's not[G]here no more
And[Am]I might be okay, but I'm not[G]fine at all
[F]Oh-[G]oh-[C] oh-[G]
[Chorus]
Causе[C]there we arе again on that[G]little town street
You[Am]almost ran the red 'cause you were[F]looking' over at me
Wind in my[C]hair, I was there
I [G]remember it all too[Am] well[F]
[Verse 3]
Photo[C]album on the counter, your[G]cheeks were turning red
You used [Am]to be a little kid with glasses in a[F]twin-sized bed
And your[C]mother's telling stories 'bout you on the[G]tee-ball team
You[Am]taught me 'bout your past, thinking your[F]future was me
And you were[C]tossing me the car keys
"F**k [G]the patriarchy" keychain[Am]on the ground
We were always[F]skipping town
And I was[C]thinking on the[C]drive down
Any[G]time now, he's gonna[Am]say it's love
You never called[F]it what it was
Til we were[C]dead and gone[C]and buried
Check the[G]pulse and[G]come back
Swearing[Am]it's the same
After three months[F]in the grave
And then you[C]wondered where[C]it went to
As I[G]reached for you
But all I felt [Am]was shame
And you held my[F]lifeless frame
[Pre-Chorus]
And I[C]know it's long gone[C]and
There was[G]nothing else[G] I could do
And I[Am] forget about you long [Am]enough
To [G]forget why I needed[F]to[G][C][G]
[Chorus]
[C]'Cause here we are again in the[G]middle of the night
We're[Am]dancing 'round the kitchen in[F]the refrigerator light
Down the[C]stairs[C]I was there
I remember[G]it all [Am]too [F]well
And there[C]we are again
When[G]nobody had to know
You kept [Am]me like a secret
But I kept[F]you like an oath
Sacred prayer[C]and we'd swear
To[G]remember it all [Am] too well[F]yeah
[Instrumental]
[C] [G] [Am] [F] [G] [G]
[Bridge]
Well maybe[C]we got lost in[C] translation
Maybe I[G]asked for too much
But maybe [Am] this thing was a [Am]masterpiece
'Til you [F]tore it all up
Running[C]scared[C]I was there
I remember[G]it all [Am] too [F]well
And[C]you call me up again
Just to [G]break me like a promise
[Am]So casually cruel in the[F] name of[F]being honest
I'm a[C]crumpled up piece [G]of paper lying here
'Cause I [Am]remember [F]it all, all, all
[Verse 4]
They[C]say "All's well[C] that ends well"
But [G] I'm in a new hell [Am]every time
You double[F]cross my mind
You [C]said if we had been [G]closer in age
Maybe it would [Am]have been fine
And that made[F]me want to die
[C]The idea you had of me,[C]who was she?
[G]A never-needy, ever [Am] lovely jewel
Whose shine[F]reflects on you
[C]Not weeping in a party bathroom
Some [G]actress asking me [G] what happened
[Am]You
That's what[F]happened: you
You[C]who charmed my [G]dad with self-effacing jokes
[Am]Sipping coffee like you [F]were on a late night show
But then[C]he watched me[C]watch the front door
all night, [G]willing you to come
And he said [Am]"it's supposed [Am]to be fun…
[F]Turning 21"
[Interlude]
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
[Verse 5]
[C]Time won't fly, it's like [G] I'm paralyzed by it
I'd like [Am]to be my old self [F]again, but I'm s[F]till trying to find it
After[C] plaid shirt days and [G]nights when you made [G]me your own
Now [Am]you mail back [F]my things and[F] I walk home alone
But [C]you keep my old [G]scarf from that very [G]first week
Cause it [Am]reminds you of [F]innocence and it[F] smells like me
You can't [C]get rid of it
Cause you [G] remember [Am]it all too [F]well, yeah
[Chorus]
[C]Cause there we are [G]again when [G] I loved you so
[Am]Back before you lost the [F]one real thing you've[F] ever known
It was rare[C]I was there
I [G]remember[Am] it all too[F] well
[Post-Chorus]
Wind in [C]my hair,[C]you were there
You [G] remember it all
Down [Am]the stairs[Am]you were there
You [F]remember it all
It was rare[C]I was there
I[G]remember it[Am] all too[F]well
[Verse 6]
And[C] I was never[C]good at telling jokes
But the [Am]punchline goes:
"I'll get[F]older, but your lovers[G]stay my age"
From[C] when your [Am]Brooklyn broke my[Am]skin and bones
I'm a [F]soldier who's returning [G]half her weight
And [C]did the twin flame [Am]bruise paint you blue?
Just [F]between us, did the love[G]affair maim you too?
Cause in [F]this city's barren [F]cold
I still remember [G]the first fall [F]of snow
And how it [F]glistened as it fell
[F]I remember it [C]all too [Am]well
[F]Just between us did the [G]love affair maim you
All[C] too[Am] well
Just [F]between us-do[G]you remember it
All[C] too[Am] well
Just [F]between us[G]I remember it[C]all too well
[Outro]
[C]Wind in my hair,[Am] I was there,[Am] I was there
[F]Down the stairs [G]I was there, I was there
[C]Sacred prayer[Am]I was there[Am]I was there
[F]It was rare, you [G]remember it (all [G]too well)
[C]Wind in my hair[Am] I was there[Am] I was there
[F]Down the stairs [G] I was there, I was there
[C]Sacred prayer, [Am]I was there[Am] I was there
[F]It was rare, you [G]remember it
[C]Wind in my hair[Am]I was there[Am]I was there
[F]Down the stairs[G]I was there[G]I was there
[C]Sacred prayer[Am] I was there, I was there
[F]It was rare, you [G]remember it
[C]Wind in my hair[Am] I was there, I was there
[F]Down the stairs [G]I was there, I was there
[C]Sacred prayer[Am] I was there, I was there
It was rare, you [G]remember it
[C](fade[Am] out)
